Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Work Platform
Most tower manufacturers make a work platform for their product. This is
what I use:

## That platform only works at the 21 foot level..of a crank up tower.
IE: top of the very bottom section. It also wont fit my UST-HDX-689.
Even if it did, you then cant install a ring rotor at the 72 ft level, nor the
55 ft level.
## Rohn makes one for the 25G....and no doubt their 45 / 55 / 65 G towers.
What is it exactly that you are doing up the tower for hours on end ?? You
cant swap out a balun..if its way out on the boom. The yagi either works..or
doesn’t.
The real issue is trying to pluck one of 3 yagis from the mast. The very
bottom one is no big
deal, it’s the top 2. IF a crank up tower is used, a rented man lift will
work better..vs a crane.
With any crane, you have the main crane cable getting hung up on the yagis
above or below
the middle yagi.
